To the tune of "Pop Goes The Weasel":
x equals negative b /
plus or minus the square root /
of b squared minus 4 ac /
all over 2a!
I cannot believe that stupid fucking song is still in my head, but good God damn it worked. It's there for all 0 times I'll need the quadratic equation in my daily life.
I can't even visualise what you are saying
I can. But I can't hear it at all.
I know the equation but "hearing" something in your head sounds.. weird
I've been hearing the Donkey Kong song in my head for the last 6 hours. If you know how to make it stop, I'm all ears.
Things tend to linger when we don't understand them or didn't initially hear them well
We reprocess them until they make sense
Yes, I mean I have 10/10 visualisation/internal hearing/etc but the language denotation of "hearing" something that does not enter your auditory nerve is.. odd
Iโve never seen it with the x equals up front. It works much better when it starts with -b.
